“Are you sure that the dark figure went to their dormitory?” the institute director looked at Zhou Bugui sternly.

Zhou Bugui firmly nodded his head.

“I am certain.”

The institute director slightly lifted his head, then gathered the mentors from the school of gold cultivators and ordered them to check for any abnormalities in Xi Sinong’s room.

After the mentors left, there was a wave of discussion in the field. During this period, many people died due to an unknown reason, causing many young men to fear their lives. However, the information provided by Zhou Bugui did not seem trustable to the rest.

“This Zhou Bugui is a new student at the school of terminators?”

“Yes, this brat is really competent. When the other students were ambushed with demons’ attack, everyone was battling hard and only he had run away cowardly. Did you see that, that leg was injured while he was escaping.”

“Why was he the only one injured?”

“I guess it’s retribution. Did you see the ancient dragon in our rearing pen? There is a formidable new student from the school of terminators who had managed to seek help from the dragon to bring everyone back safely. Instead, this guy who had not cared about others and run away on his own must have been punished for his selfishness.”

Everyone in the school of terminators knew everything that Zhou Bugui had done. Upon hearing that he was testifying, and the suspect involved were Ji Fengyan and her friends, everyone thought that it was too obvious that he was trying to smear Ji Fengyan’s name.

No one believed in what Zhou Bugui had said and thought that he was seeking his personal revenge.

When the students from the other institutions heard about it, they all started to criticise him. After disregarding everything else, at least it was true that Ji Fengyan had brought back an ancient dragon.

Zhou Bugui stood in the line of sight of everyone and could feel everyone shooting daggers from their eyes. He clenched his fist tight, as his dark eyes glanced at everyone’s mocking face.

In the end, his gaze landed on Ji Fengyan.

Ji Fengyan stood calmly at her position when her clear eyes met with Zhou Bugui’s dark eyes.

Zhou Bugui stared straight at Ji Fengyan and felt being suppressed. He secretly gritted his teeth, took a deep breath in and turned his head away.

Very soon, the mentors who were sent to investigate returned. Everyone waited for them to expose Zhou Bugui’s scheme but…

The mentors looked unpleasant when they returned to the field. They walked quickly to the side of the institute director and whispered to his ears.

The institute director’s face instantly darkened. Ji Fengyan slightly narrowed her eyes as she watched. When she glanced at Zhou Bugui through the corner of her eyes, she realised that his lips had curled into a sinister grin.

After the mentors finished reporting, they stood at the side. The institute director’s face was ghastly as his eyes scanned Ji Fengyan and the rest standing in front of him. This look explained it all.

Zhou Bugui’s words…

Were true.

The sudden turn of events was completely unexpected by everyone. It stunned those young men from the school of terminators who had previously mocked Zhou Bugui for seeking his personal revenge.Within moments, the entire field was pin-drop silent and everyone was waiting for the institute director’s next action.

“According to the mentors’ investigation, Xi Sinong’s room indeed had some abnormalities,” the institute director finally spoke. But what he said had immediately caused a commotion.

What Zhou Bugui had said was true?

There was really something wrong with Xi Sinong’s room?

What exactly was happening?

Everyone immediately started to buzz with each other. None of them could believe that such a lowly accusation would actually be true.

Zhou Bugui instantly smiled brightly as he lifted his head. His dark eyes suddenly landed on Ji Fengyan.
